Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the salt, cumin, oregano, and garlic.

Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours, until the chicken is very tender and shreds easily.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken from the slow cooker to a bowl and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Shred the chicken with two forks, then return it to the slow cooker and gently mix with the remaining juices and sauce until well coated.
Serve in lettuce cups, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and jalapeño slices, if desired. Use plant-based sour cream to keep this recipe dairy-free.
